What drives your ambition: a desire to be significant, or a calling to serve? In this sermon from Mark 10:35–45, Family and Operations Director Dylan Drumm explores the dangerous pitfalls of worldly ambition and how it can subtly distort our mission, impair our perspective, and damage our relationships. Ultimately, we are invited to look to Jesus—the ultimate servant leader—who came not to be served, but to give His life as a ransom for many.
In this sermon from Mark 10:35-45, Dylan Drumm explores how unchecked worldly ambition can confuse our mission, impair our perspective, and damage our relationships. By examining the self-serving request of James and John, we expose the hidden traps of chasing personal status and significance.

In this sermon on Mark 10:17-31, we dive into the story of the rich young ruler to discover why eternal life cannot be earned through good deeds, rule-keeping, or moral merit. Jesus exposes the hidden idols of our hearts—like wealth and comfort—revealing that while salvation is impossible by human effort, it is entirely possible through God's grace.
In this study of Mark 9:2-13, we look at the Transfiguration—a moment where the veil is pulled back and the disciples see Jesus in His full, divine glory. While Peter wants to stay on the mountaintop and build "tents," Jesus points them back down toward the valley. He reveals a difficult truth: The road to the mountain must go through the cross.
